The London Affiliate Conference (LAC) is taking place at ExCel London from 7th to 10th February 2018. The industry event is organized by iGB Affiliate, an iGaming Business brand of Clarion Events. In addition to the LAC, iGB Affiliate also produces two more of the biggest events designed for affiliates – the Amsterdam Affiliate Conference and the Berlin Affiliate Conference covering some of the most important markets in Europe.

Of the 5,000 delegates expected to attend, 3,500 of them will be affiliates which makes this year’s conference and expo the biggest in its history.

In addition to a robust networking schedule, the event presents important thought leaders and industry expert speakers. The line up has been confirmed with high profile names sharing their experience and knowledge over the course of four days.

The Stars Group (formerly Amaya) SEO Manager, Manuel Martinez will be featured as will Acceleration Partners managing director, Helen Southgate. Aira co-founder, Matt Beswick will also speak at the event.

Sharing insights, preventative measures and cautionary tales in the security arena, Peter Bassill, CEO and founder of Hedgehog Security will present a discussion under the title: “Top 5 ways firms were hacked in 2017”. The Peak Ace AG Head of SEO and famed international optimization expert Andor Palau will participate in two discussions – the “SEO Rockstar Panel” and “Welcome to a new world: Crawling, indexing & ranking in the age of mobile-first!”

Beyond educational and networking opportunities the event is also home to the Financial Partners Expo and iGB Affiliate Awards. The FPE is celebrating its 10th year and is designed to help bridge the gap between affiliates and brokers in the retail finance sector. It’s the largest dedicated expo of its kind and runs all four days.

The iGB Affiliate Awards will be held on Feb 8 at The Brewery and are free to attend. These awards, that focus on transparency, are some of the most prestigious in the industry and recognize affiliates who “go all in” to make the affiliate business world a better place for all. The LCB Network has two businesses on the Best Casino Website shortlist with Latest Casino Bonuses and Wizard of Odds. Pokerlistings and PokerNews have made the cut for consideration in the Best Poker Website category. LCB Network sites LatestBingoBonuses and Two Little Fleas are also under consideration for Best Bingo Website.

Judging for the 2018 awards will include consideration not only of being in the forefront of the industry sectors but on what each company has done to maintain and grow their position as well as what sets them apart from the crowd. The awards will be based on momentum, not size, giving everyone an equal chance to be recognized.
